[Twilight]

"Nuuuuu...Nuuu..Nuuu..Nu Nu....Nuuuuuuu..."

It was around 3 am, and Diva had awoken suddenly, possibly from a bad dream. To calm herself down, she began softly singing her song in a very gentle and soothing manner. Even with this gentle technique, the child's voice was beautiful and clear.

"Kid, what zeh singing? Is iz late you know..." Kitty awoke slightly from her slumber, glancing at the child. Diva stopped singing and looking at her softly.

"It makes me feel better....Bad dream..." she said softly. Kitty blinked sleepily and nodded, and went back to sleep. Diva looked down and began to sing the song again:

"Ahhh...Nu Nu Nu....Nu Nu Nu...Ahhh...OoOooooo..."

"That's pretty that song...so talented you are, little siren..." a voice whispered from the patio, a female voice.

Her voice...

Diva tensed and turned slightly to see a shadow for a brief second, then vanish.

"Hey, Diva...go to sleep alright?" Pyro came out from his hole for a second, looking at the child. "Kids like you shouldn't be up so late, it's bad for you."

Diva seemed to ignore him and was staring out at the old patio blankly, as if waiting for the voice to come back, as well as the shadow.

"Huh? Hey...what are you staring at?" Pyro asked, looking in the direction Diva was looking.

"...There was a shadow outside..watching me..." Diva finally whispered. Pyro blinked and went over, opening the patio doors with a 'creak' and looking outside. His lit a small fire in his palm to look around more and see more clearly.

Nothing...Nothing but dead silence.

He sighed. "Diva there is nobody out here. You were probably just seeing things.." he said, glancing at her. Diva looked down.

"...But....someone was there..." she weakly whispered. She knew there was....

Collin laid on the tub, pondering...Although he still got his life back in the past, he still accept the duty that Gaia entrusted him with. And it wasn't for the wish that the Goddess promised him. Actually, he had a feeling, that this duty really need his dedication in order to succeed, he's needed, just like his teammates. Teammates...seems to be the only word Collin could think of that fit for an old man like him to call them. But then, he wondered: Why was he the chosen one? How could he be able to contribute any help in this chaotic war?

He thought about the others: all of them got at least one special ability that have really demonstrated their magnificence on the field. He then looked at himself: nothing more than a normal human being, with only the new mere ability that he still hasn't figure out how to adapt to it. He didn't even show the others what he could do, for the fact that, he couldn't do anything special at all...

All the thoughts going around in his head made him felt tired. He decided that he would need some rest, even the toughest man would need to lay down. And that hadn't mention the fact that he hasn't sleep for 10 days since his last operation in Georgia. Collin slowly drifted down in sleep, having a thought that somehow, he would find a way that could improve his situation for the later of this journey. He then eventually let out some snores, tired, but silent...

And Collin didn't notice what was about to happened to him...

A light, childish, yet evil smirk...

A dark cloud appeared out of nowhere, warped around him...

----------------
"What the...? How did I get here...?" - Collin asked in confusion. He was lying on the ground, injured. He tried to stand up and checked the surrounding and found himself in the middle of a dark forest, with a small river to the left view...

"This place...familiar somehow..."

Collin started to walk slowly due to his injury, tried to find a way out. He descend down the path and kept going deeper and deeper, into the unknown. He eventually reached a ruined cemetery covered with lots of bushy trees and wild grasses. He stared at the cemetery, couldn't believe his own eyes. He turned back, only to see the path behind was nothing more than darkness, like a black hole that keep consuming his trail. He got no choice but to proceed further into the cemetery.

He then suddenly had a feeling that he's about to step on something. Looking down, he realized it was a little girl curling up on the ground. He looked closer and found out it was Diva. He woke her up and helped her back on her feet.

"You're the other man...You're Collin..." - said Diva, then she looked around - "What happened? Where are we...?"

"I don't know...but I think we need to find out. Stay by me..."

They slowly advanced deeper into the cemetery. When Collin passed through some gravestones, something caught his eyes: most of the gravestones were blank, nothing written on it, except, there were two. Collin approached the two gravestones with texts on it and started reading.

Here lies Madison Bleaustin - Who lives in anger and died because of it.

Collin eyes stretched out. He couldn't believe his eyes. But Diva then read outloud the second gravestone as Collin still haven't get back to his awareness yet:

"Here lies Ada Lane - Who loves her sister because it was like looking in a mirror?"

"Who...who wrote this crap? HUH? WHO???" - Collin growled, but then realized that there's a young kid following him. He turned to Diva - "I...I'm sorry..."

"Who were they...?" - Diva asked curiously.

"They...were friends...of mine. Best...friends..." - Collin answered interruptedly.

"What happened to them...?"

"They...gone...k...kiiled..."

Diva looked at Collin, silent. At that time, she looked innocent as usual in the outlook, but deep inside, she's singing, a sad tone, for the lost of Collin 'friends'.

And Collin wasn't lying...

They really were his best friends, back in the 80s, when he still in the Navy SEALs team. Actually, they were under his command, but Collin considered them as friend. Private Madison was a newcomer, young, hothead and mostly act before thinking, but he was really brave and always obey Collin's orders and guides. Sergeant Ada Lane, on the other hand, was a calm one and got more experiences than Madison. She got a twin, Shannon, and they really care for each other. All three of them made one constructive team, but not for long...While they still enjoy working with each other, both Madison and Ada got K.I.A right before his own eyes, just to SAVE his life because of one small mistake he made. And in return, he couldn't do anything to help them. He felt helpless, depressed and decided to work solo since then so that he would be the only one that die if any mistake happen...Sad memories brought back made him started. He isn't solo anymore, he's now a part of a team in which all the members aside them still young. And he fear, that history might repeat itself, that one of them might end up like Madison and Ada because of any mistake he might cause...

"No! Leave me alone! Pleaseeeeee.......!!!"

A female scream brought him back. He looked around and spotted someone was dragging a woman that he couldn't identify. He grabbed Diva's hand and dragged her along as he running at the direction that the woman was being dragged away.
----------------

SLAM!!!

The door of the bathroom which Collin was staying shutted itself.

"Shit! What was that?" - Pyro growled, lit his hand with a fireball and came near the door.

"What's going on?" - Conrad Ferrel immediately raised up and asked.

"The bathroom shut itself and Collin still in there! Hey old man, what..." - A black aura blocked and shoved Pyro backward as he trying to open the door. - "What the...? What is this hideous black thing...? It's...alive!"

"Let me see!" - Ferrel rushed to the door and touch the black aura to feel it - "Some kind...of barrier, formed by an evil force...and quite strong! Collin's in danger!"

"What happened?" - Burriko asked.

"Some hideous black thing shut the old man inside!"

"Oh god! It's the demon! What can we do?"

"Stay calm! I'll penetrate through this thing. It's strong but I'll try my best." - said Ferrel.

"Where's Diva?" - asked Burriko.

"She still szeepi..." - Kitty said as she pointing at the bed where Diva was sleeping. But shockingly, she found it covered with the same black aura that locked Collin inside the bathroom. Then smirks, evil childish smirks could be heard all around the room...

"Shit! What now?" - Pyro growled...

((It's long...:P))

[Pyro]

It was an understatement to say that Pyro was pissed off. As he was forced awake from noise and tremors that had just recently started the candles in the room flared viciously and dangerously close to the ceiling. He ran out after dressing and grabbing Noah's sword, stepping into the room where the others slept. Where Diva should have been there was a dark cloud of some sort, completely shrouding the bed.

"What the fuck is this guys?" Pyro asked the others.

"Why would we know?" Burriko stated.

"Well fuck me." Pyro said. "No sleep and now a crazy hunt? Just what we fuckin' needed."

"How could this get any worse?" Burriko added in, looking around as if waiting for an answer to randomly appear.

Right then, the floor began to rip open. The tremors pulled apart the building, Pyro's personal hole/room was currently pulling away, the candles tipping over and setting it ablaze.

"You just HAD to fuckin' ask that didn't you?" Pyro screamed over the noises. The world seemed to be falling apart, there was no other explination. The world was falling apart and they were right in the middle of the split mark. Just perfect, just completely perfect.

Pyro stepped over to the edge of the place, his hand lit in a fireball and looked down. Collin was locked in the bathroom, he wasn't even sure of the use of Kitty's powers wouldn't damage time, and Diva was missing. They were fucked, they couldn't be more fucked unless.. Yes... Unless...

"You gotta be shittin' me." Pyro said as he stepped backwards.

"What is it?" The group seemingly rang in unison.

"You know those demons we were supposed to track and kill?" Pyro stated. The group nodded. "Yeah, I think it found us... And it's not small."

[Not small is an understatement] Noah added.

"Look, I don't need distractions right now Noah," Pyro growled at him.

"What's the demon like?" Just then a screech echoed upwards as the entire group looked to the open sky that used to be half of the hotel. The demon soard brilliantly with large strangely stone looking wings, large talons for back legs and a snout that resembled some kind of dovermen. It's ears were drawn back tightly and it seemed to be covered with hair. It looked like a winged dog... There was only one dog Pyro had ever heard of in hell, and this was not it. "That's not Cerberus" As if on cue, a howl echoed from below them, and as they scrambled to the edge of the now broken in half room, they looked down to see the three headed guardian of hell clamoring through the fissure just made.

"You just had to say that didn't you?" Burriko growled back in her 'smart-ass' tone.

"Well... Fuck me.." Pyro said.

[You wish]

"Shut your fucking mouth Noah."
